One just\u00a0disappeared\u00a0off my ring. I thought to myself, &#8220;lovely, next my ring will just\u00a0disappear\u00a0off my finger!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This, of course, is probably nothing I should really complain about.<\/p>\n<p>Last spring I began with cutting out 2\/3&#8217;rds of my coffee intake. Not really for the coffee, I actually don&#8217;t consider coffee unhealthy. It was the cream and sugar I added to each coffee that was slowly &#8216;killing&#8217; me.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, I lost 10 pounds quite easily, just from that step.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I&#8217;m onto a much more &#8216;harsh&#8217; program. I&#8217;ve had to cut out all fats, sugars, and starches from my diet. It&#8217;s only temporarily, but it&#8217;s strict, and really not so fun.<\/p>\n<p>However, I&#8217;ve lost another 14 pounds and I will happily (although very embarrassingly) admit that I&#8217;ve now gone from &#8216;mildly obese&#8217; to just &#8216;overweight&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m getting there.<\/p>\n<p>So I guess I&#8217;ll suck it up and put up with my fingers feeling naked.<\/p>\n<p>And yes, I do realize I have very large hands for a woman. I have my father&#8217;s hands. Not tiny little hands, but working hands, and I&#8217;m actually quite proud of them. However, they used to be slender hands, even if large. I&#8217;ll get those slender hands back yet. And when I do, I&#8217;ll get my rings\u00a0re-sized\u00a0because they&#8217;ll be staying that way!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been sharing some of my weightloss\/life style changes here on the blog so I thought I&#8217;d give a little update.
